The proponents of the measure, Chad M. Hanes and Marinda D. Hanes, must collect the signatures of 365,880 registered voters (five percent of the total votes cast for Governor in the November 2014 general election) in order to qualify it for the November 2016 ballot.

The proponents have 180 days to circulate petitions for the measure, meaning the signatures must be submitted to county elections officials by April 26, 2016.
